TRIO SSSP Student Speaks Out
TRIO Student Support Services and Upward Bound are federally funded programs helping first-generation, low-income students and students with disabilities make their way into and through college. These critical programs are currently in danger of being cut. One of our outstanding SSSP students, Logan Wolf, who recently interned at Senator Nick Miller’s office in Allentown, just published an article in The Keystone News, highlighting the impact of these potential cuts on students. Logan is set to graduate in Fall 2025 and will begin graduate school at KU in Spring 2026. We're incredibly proud of her voice and advocacy. Check out her article online to learn more and see the work of one of our amazing KU students.
